AWS snowball documentation change
Summary
Revised end-of-support notice for Snowball Edge, emphasizing availability limitations and recommending alternative transfer/compute services.
Security assessment
This is a product deprecation notice update. While it mentions 'secure physical transfers' as an alternative service feature, this does not document security improvements to Snowball itself.
